This task is just about going through some pages and blocks using checkboxes and checking they are accessible. For example, the Cookies block uses checkboxes, the Search page does too.

Our checkboxes have some custom styles, but as far as I tested they are ok. There is an issue with VoiceOver, it reads the labels twice, but it seems to be reported by other users even when using fully native checkboxes with labels and no style.

Some guidelines here:

VoiceOver bug:

Maybe there is nothing to do, but maybe it worths time-boxing this task to see if we can find a workaround for the VoiceOver bug, and check also that our custom checkbox works with other screenreaders like Orca and NVDA.
